(From the Irish Worldly
The Tunnel to Scotland.

An examination was made some
months ago OF the bed Of the Channel
Between Portpatrick in Scotland, and
she coasts OF Down and Antrim to ascer-
cain 1t the construction Of til mel under
shat part of the Irish see would be prac-
Mcable. The examination resulted in
she discovery that the work would be
virtually impossible owing to the exist
snee OF a strongly marked depression i'll
the bed OF che sea. Still. the idea OF Il
submarine passage between Scotland
aald Ulster has not been abandoned
The two coasts como closely together at
Fair Head, in Antrim. and the Hull Of
Cautire. Oh the Scottish slle, the dis
lance hetneen the two countries ut these
points being only ten miles The emil
Etent engineer, Sir Edward Watkin, has
oeen making examinations into the pos
sibility Of constructing a tunnel between
these two points, and the reports SO far
Aaave been favorable.

Statistics Of Westmeath County,

vGl.e population Of Westmeath as esti~

ter ending June so, 1887, We're 366. and
cf deaths, 1928, OF this number32 were
children under year, and 155 persons
aged so years and upwards. According
60 these figures there should have been
& natural increase Of 10 in the population
Of the County during the quarter,
but it is estimated that over 800 emf
grants left, and this reduces the popula-
sion by 260 or more. The figures Of
births, deaths, and emigration have
maintained about the same ratio since
Size census was taken, the births ont
Wandering the deaths by little over
1000, but the departure of between

CONCERNING TlNFoIL.
A Mammoth Industry in Which Every To-

'sWhat was that he threw awayp"
.'Oh, only piece Of tinfoil from his
tobacco
Only piece Of tinfoil. Did you
eve: consider how large a manufacture
Of that article, apparently of so little
value, is carried on? Will you believe
it when you are told that more than
100000 pounds Of the foil are used
annually to cover the smoking and
chewing tobacco manufactured in the
United States alone The method of
making it is interesting. The tin is Of
course first taken out of the mines, the
best of which for this purpose are i'll
Australia and the Dutch possessions of
the East Indies. The metal is found
in veins OF assures called lodes, though
it is also often found in a dispersed
form in loose stones, which when
found continuously are called
streams The rock containing the
ore is blasted with gunpowder and
carried to the stanpin g-mill, where it
is pounded and washed. 1t is next
snlelted and the tin run into blocks
containing from 200 to 400 weight
each. This is the condition in which
the metal is kept for ordinary Use.
Two means are used to reduce it to the
necessary thinness. The old manner
Of hammering by hand after first being
cut is still used to a great extent BY
this process, however, only one surface
could be produced, and TO obyiate this
difficulty rolling mills were invented.
Prior to their invention nearly all the
1infoil was imported, but their use has
completely revolutionized the trade.
The metal is now placed between two
heavy rollers, which gives it a finished
surface on both sides, 1t is chem cut
into widths from twelve to fifteen
inches, rolled upon wooden reels and
carried to cutting machines where it is
cut according 70 order. 1t is then
packed in boxes ct one hundred pounds
each, being laid in without pressure
There is another difference between the
foil which is beaten aud and that which
is rolled. The former is full OF small
holes, bur the foil to be used for to-
bacoo wrappers must be airtigllt. ~

Signers for Liquor Licenses.

Attorney Davis has rendered the following
opinion in regard TO signers for liquor licenses:
"In the case of Abner's application some years
ago for permit to do business on l. street OPP
pcsite the Postoilce Department, in which
license was withheld for time because OF the
refusal Of the Postmaster General to give his
permission, 1t seems to have been assumed that
the permission Of a majority of each of the two
sides was requisite. While | do not think the
language of the act MS amended imperatively
accordance with the idea of the original act;
and as the amendment evinces no clear in
tention OF making a change in this respect, it
is, perhaps, in better accord with the rules of
Interpretation TO hold that the permission of a
majority on each the two confronting sides Of
the square is requisite"
In the case as to whether a barroom license
can be issued for place in au alley. he says:
"1he law does not contemplate the keeping of
such place in an alley, and makes no pro.
vision therefor"
